I have now released the first beta (0.01.000) https://github.com/Grovkillen/ESP_Easy_Flasher/releases

This version supports spaces in SSID and removes special characters in Unit Name. I hope it'll be of use

hi
can it be used to flash other firmwares, too? I actually use the flasher included in every espeasy 2.0 release package, with no issues, so i think yes... the wifi credential setting is a standard, or it changes from one board/firmware to an other? If it's usable, i could pass credentials to tasmota and espurna, too, which would be nice... i have to try, of course it's not what your tool is intended for... i remember once when changing from one firmware to an other, the latter was already connected to my wifi without me doing anything... thanks in advance

Flashing the ESP with whatever bin file is not a problem. Pushing the credentials will probably not work since the commands that ESP Easy use is not likely the same as other firmware use.

nice program. It works great with esp8285.
It would be greater if you could add the config file after flashing.

grovkillen · #75 Post by **grovkillen** » 26 Jul 2018, 07:07

I will consider that. Thanks for the feedback

I have just updated the flasher (0.02.000) which fixed a bug if you had high density screens. With new Patreon supporters we're getting closer to the point of doing this full time. Thanks to those of you who support us!

Hello everyone,

I am enthusiastic about the espeasy project and would like to give feedback on the esp easy flasher.

I have also the font issue (letters are too big) and therefore not readable.

My Sytem is Windows 10 64bit with the ESP Easy Flasher in Version 0.02.004.Screen Resolution 2560x1600

will there be a working version?

Thank you in advance.

regards martin

grovkillen · #78 Post by **grovkillen** » 20 Nov 2018, 18:57

Did you drag and drop the font file?

martin8310 · #79 Post by **martin8310** » 20 Nov 2018, 20:57

Unfortunately not. Thanks for the tip, the problem is solved. It's just a bit too complicated

Now I understand why all the windows are always open.

Thank you.

Hi

loving this tool.

MAybe an enhancement request.

for fixed ip, I would recommend to be aple to set all IP datails.

Gateway
Subnetmask

Does this make sence?
Can this be added?

Thanks Thomas

grovkillen · #82 Post by **grovkillen** » 07 Dec 2018, 11:26

I could make it optional yes.

ThomasB · #83 Post by **ThomasB** » 08 Dec 2018, 02:41

@grovkillen, thank you for creating this flashing tool. I started using it this week and appreciate its user interface.

Today I noticed that it has a file name length problem. For example, this file is ignore (not shown in the drop down):
ESP_Easy_mega-20181207_normal_core_241_ESP8266_1024.bin

The workaround is to rename it so it is shorter. For example, this works:
ESP_Easy_mega-20181207_normal_241_ESP8266_1024.bin

BTW, my PC is WIN10 Pro 64 bit, build 16299.

grovkillen · #84 Post by **grovkillen** » 08 Dec 2018, 10:36

I will make the window wider. Release Monday.

grovkillen · #85 Post by **grovkillen** » 08 Dec 2018, 11:52

By the way. Latest release allows for custom serial commands using an external txt file.

@riker1 you can add your special subnet and gateway in this file. They will be added after the standard commands so you will see the "wrong" subnet and gateway first but these will be overrun by the custom commands right before the save is made.

Hi,
how do I flash Espeasy on new esp32 (Wroom32)?
Thanks

ESP32 is not yet supported by the flasher. Sorry! It's on the road map though.

Hi
wanted to test this,
how do I have to name the gateway and subnet in settings file?

Fixed IP=True
IP1=192
IP2=168
IP3=3
IP4=9

?
gateway=192.168.0.1
subnet=255.255.0.0

.

The checkbox is disabled for this action.....how to enable it?

Thanks Thomas

grovkillen · #91 Post by **grovkillen** » 11 Dec 2018, 18:58

Save the commands in a file called "SerialCommands.txt" in the settings folder.

Commands are syntaxed just as any serial commands.

Code: Select all

gateway,192.168.0.1
subnet,255.255.0.0

riker1 · #92 Post by **riker1** » 11 Dec 2018, 19:00

Hi

ok, but how to enable the checkbox?

to use serialcommands?

grovkillen · #93 Post by **grovkillen** » 11 Dec 2018, 19:14

If it's there [the file] it will be enabled upon start of app or rescan (button for rescanning COM ports).

riker1 · #94 Post by **riker1** » 11 Dec 2018, 22:13

strange, not working for me.

see hardcopy

file in settings/SerialCommands.txt exists

refreshed often, and restarted

riker1 · #95 Post by **riker1** » 11 Dec 2018, 22:34

Sorry

New version is delivered with today's release.

Hi,
Version mega 20181216; Just a minor in convenience, as I normally set the scree to 125% (win7) to make it eaisier for my eyes; I am missing the bottom part of the flasher gui, does not seems to able to scale or resize, so I cant click flash.
However if I change display size back to 100% it is ok.
Thansk,

ALT+S will save current settings to the Settings/Default.ini change the "pixels per inch" value and the zoom will work better. Save and restart the app.

Hi
I have a questions

How do I set IP
via Serial commands?

Thanks Thomas

do I just enter those command in console? putty?

Name ESP01S
Unit 202
ip xx.xx.xx.xx
WifiSSID ssid

etc?

I found it: just have to enter the commands in arduino serial command line.

Thanks

grovkillen · #101 Post by **grovkillen** » 24 Jan 2019, 19:41

You can add custom Commands using the serialcommands.txt way.

riker1 · #102 Post by **riker1** » 29 Jan 2019, 07:38

thanks

where do I find a list of available serial commands?

thanks Thomas

grovkillen · #103 Post by **grovkillen** » 29 Jan 2019, 07:50

Not 100% complete list but here is the official commands:

If you're missing something, give me a ping here.

riker1 · #104 Post by **riker1** » 29 Jan 2019, 08:11

thanks a lot

riker1 · #105 Post by **riker1** » 31 Jan 2019, 09:03

another question.

how can I set ip to dhcp via serial?

Thanks T

grovkillen · #106 Post by **grovkillen** » 31 Jan 2019, 10:20

Set all DNS, gateway and IP to "0.0.0.0"

... hello again from Germany,

after a OS-crash last week I have installed the OS from scratch. Today now I download the Installer but have some Problems with it:

1. Fonts
I install the two fonts to the Windows folder more then twice but nothing helps. The Flasher show the right Font (I believe) but always open the both windows again telling me they can't find the Fonts.

2. GUI resolution
Have anybody try the Flasher on UHD? That is not realy funny if you need a Microscope to handle the Flasher (see Picture)

EDIT: ... and I can't open any firmware- File. Explorer opens but I can't chose one ...

grovkillen · #109 Post by **grovkillen** » 30 Jun 2019, 08:04

Click save or CTRL+S and a settings file will appear in the settings folder. Open that file and change the pixels per inch value to something smaller (and save the file) and then start the flasher again.

M*I*B · #110 Post by **M*I*B** » 30 Jun 2019, 08:32

... ty ... that works well. I have now set it to 96px and now it's ok.

The remaining problem is that the script folders pop up over and over again, no matter how often you install the fonts. That should be taken out of it completely. Simply put the reference to the fonts to be installed in a ReadMe and it is good

grovkillen · #111 Post by **grovkillen** » 30 Jun 2019, 08:36

Yeah, I really need to update the Flasher.... Sorry for inconvenience.

M*I*B · #112 Post by **M*I*B** » 30 Jun 2019, 08:56

M*I*B · #113 Post by **M*I*B** » 05 Jul 2019, 13:43

... next problem ...

The Flasher don't find the active COM-port.

I use a flash- adapter ( see picture ) that use a CP10x from Silicon Labs. I also have some USB2SER and USB2I²C and USB21W that also use the same Chip.

The Flasher is known as COM6 but the Flashtool only see COM3 and COM4 as inactive (right). Now I have set the Flasher to COM1 but the same... They don't see them. Only if I overwrite the known COM3 or COM4 the tool see it...

Is there an other way to flash ESPeasy to the ESP without using the Flashertool?

BTW:
For me it's not possible to flash with that Flasher... Nice idea, but what good is it if it just does not work?

grovkillen · #114 Post by **grovkillen** » 05 Jul 2019, 16:22

Ok, easy now. I will try to get time to fix issue with not finding ports. It feels a lot better if I get some love...

M*I*B · #115 Post by **M*I*B** » 05 Jul 2019, 16:27

... I believe in that... If you do it right then I spend you many hugz

BTW:
Is there a way after flashing to send the data inside "Post flash action" by hand via a terminal (putty or same like this)? I remember that this haven't work often and I never can connect to my wifi...

Or is there a way to connect the ESP via RXTX to a terminal-program to configure it over this way?

grovkillen · #116 Post by **grovkillen** » 05 Jul 2019, 16:30

If you save a file with the name serialcommands.txt you can add commands in that one and only do a programming.
